I would have to disagree that Kila is a better offhand than a double attack +10 dagger. +10% double attack is going to have a huge advantage over 9 str and 20 attack for Rudra's, not to mention for tp gain. The double attack dagger also has +2 base damage over the kila, not enough to trump 9 str and 20 attack, but +10% double attack sure is.
High delay negates the TP gain advantage due to DNC's inherently low delay. 10 DA on WS is not nearly as huge when you consider Saber Dance, DA/TA gear, and Rudra's fTP - it's less than a 4% increase in WS damage outside Abyssea, less than 3% inside (AoA). A fulltime bonus of 24.5 attack and possibly 2-3 fSTR will easily beat that.
